America is little boys shouting âHi-Ho Silver!â, jumping up and down to the William Tell Overture and calling it âThe Lone Hanger Song.â America is brave men pushing westward into the wilderness, braving the unknown to open new frontiers. America is Babe Ruth, pointing to the far wall as, after two ham-door strikes, the crowd jeers; then on the next pitch slugging one of baseballâs longest homcrun halls over the exact spot he had indicated. America is Henry David Thoreau, philosophizing in the woods at Lake Walden in our own Massachusetts; spending only little more than three dollars for a year's provisions for his simple fare; speaking like a local St. Francis D'Assisi to the birds and beasts who came to the water's edge to drink. America is the courage of Bunker Hill, the beauty of âamber fields of grain, the morality of the Emancipation Proclamation. Here at the High School of Commerce, as young citizens of the United States, we look forward to joining the illustrious parade of democracy's people. All is not perfect. There is much to he done, and although we approach the future with conscious pride of what has been accomplished, it is also with a sense of humility concern- ing the tremendous tasks that remain. When these tasks loom up before us, we shall not he unprepared. The training we have received here, the practice in living democracy, in independent thinking, in intelligent action, will always stay with us. It is in appreciation of that training, then, that we dedicate this yearbook and its theme: American Ideals as they arc made reality at the High School of Commerce.

AN INTRODUCTION Last September as we seniors marched arrogantly through the halls, our supercilious gazes Dickered quickly over the new freshmen. Suddenly as we passed the stairway at 105, we were halted by the quiet scrutiny of two strange men. Could these he more freshmen? We found that in a way, they were. For it wasnât long before the identity of these strangers was soon established through the garrulous tongues of both the upper and the lower classmen. We were getting our first informal glimpse of our new principal. Dr. Oscar Y. Camel, and our assistant principal. Mr. Raymond J. Montagna. Seemingly unaware of the hubbub they were creating. Dr. Camel and Mr. Montagna stood silently, drawing their own conclusions about their animated student body. During the interval before the 8:30 bell. Dr. Camel wore a genial expression which, we were to find later, signified a very active sense of humor. As he stopped to talk to one of the seniors, he smiled understanding!)' at her. While the con- versation progressed, the girl began to feel that Dr. Camel, although appearing relaxed and carefree, really had com- plete command of the situation. On the other hand. Mr. Montagna's expression was more serious. As he joined the conversation between Dr. Camel and the senior, he characteristically pursed his lips and listened intently. looking directly into the seniorâs eyes, he spoke in a pleasant, but firm manner. Mis fixed attention and intent interest revealed his sincere nature. As the senior thanked the two men, they both smiled cheerfully. Then Mr. Montagna's hand slipped into his pocket and he crossed one foot over the other. Almost at tV.c same time, Dr. Camel's chin came to rest gently in his hand. Heaving a slight sigh, both seemed to relax visibly, as they were quietly introduced to their new roles among the student body. Time has passed quickly since the first day of September, but our initial impression of the new principal ami his assistant has not changed, except for the better. For as we have become better acquainted with Dr. Camel and Mr. Montagna, we have found that their actions have definitely proved the sincere and understanding natures that we first sensed eight months ago. We bid them farewell and good luck in coming years. 5 TEACHER OF THE YEAR Harold W. Jones If you should wander into the gymnasium and see a man colorfully explaining a basketball pass to intent varsity listeners, then a few moments later see someone who looks remarkably like him rushing through photographic prints of the latest school events. . . ... If you should see an amazing facsimile teaching a class in bookkeeping, and then an apparent duplicate super- vising biology students in the dissection of frogs. . . ... If you should see another identical-looking person directing the projection booth crew at Capers, or setting up a tape recorder for a teacher. . . . . . Youâre not looking at Commerceâs sextuplcts, but at Mr. Harold W. Jones â jack of all trades â and master of all. Caduceus nominates Mr. Jones as Teacher of the Year for his unselfish versatility, his cheerfulness, for his devo- tion to the High School of Commerce. One has to arrive early in the morning and stay until late in the day to keep up with this pleasant teacher, but activity is nothing new in his achievement-packed life. Mr. Jones graduated from Springfield College in 1926, where his scholastic ability earned him membership in Kappa Delta Pi. honor society. A few of his activities in- clude the varsity gymnastic team, freshman and varsity foot- ball. vice-presidency of the student senate, membership in the student congress. He spent his summers for a number of years working in camps and with Chatauqua. Back in 1923, (when there was no television) small towns were entertained in the summer by this traveling organization. Musicians, dramatists, and famed speakers all contributed to help bring culture to out- of-the-way places. Mr. Jones assisted in many ways, some- times helping in publicity work, sometimes hammering the huge tent stakes into the ground. Commerceâs busy teacher received his B.S. degree from Boston University in 1934. and his M. Ed. degree from Springfield College in 19-13. He is a member of Trinity Methodist Church, where twenty-seven years ago he married the gracious lady who is now his wife, Audrey Lou Jones â who simply changed from Miss Jones, her maiden name, to Mrs. Jones. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have two sons, Robert, who is married and attends Bahson Institute, and Alan. Aerographerâs Mate second class in the navy, who intends to begin college in 1955. To watcb Mr. Jones bouncing around, youâd never suspect that he is the father of two grown boys, but he has always kept himself in good physical condition: and when he was coach of basketball and soccer in the 1930âs â in those halcyon days when boys flooded the halls â Commerce was a sports opponent to be reckoned with, winning several all- city championships. We take off our hats to this teacher, and greet him as a gentleman, scholar, and good samaritan. 6 GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT LEFT TO RIGHT. Min Helen G. Flynn. Mr. G. Donald Melville. Min Helen M. Lynch.

ROOM 121 Intelligence A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interests of the people themselves â ( rover Cleveland. Many of the students in Hoorn 121 are actively carrying out the tenets of Grover Clevelandâs statement. VERONICA Boyi.i: and Joan Borgatti, for instance, have shown their in- telligence by attaining membership in Pro Merito, Veronica upholds justice also by taking part in the (oris Patrol. Alice Bruso, who danced for Capers, says. âThere is never a dull moment here. Alice is not the only future Broadway star here, for in this room arc Mary Jane Ki.lis, Elaine Blevins, and Betty Anderson, all Drama Club members. Athletically, the group has been well represented by Char- ley Cassei.es and Art Caron, both of whom held important positions on the soccer squad. As members of the basketball team also, they have popped many a scoring ball through the basket. Musicians in the room are Rocco Bruno and Don Ainsworth, both members of the band. 47 ROOM 210 Industry At the Constitutional Convention in 1786, great men like Alexander Hamilton and James Madison industriously worked to develop the Constitution, greatest document in American history. The Juniors in 210 are certainly leaving their mark in Commerce by working hard in many of their school activities. Well-liked Teresa Commisso is making a name for herself as the Junior Lieutenant of the Girls Patrol, to which Beverly Combs and Judith Bailey also belong. Likeable Howard Fay is President of the homeroom. Martha Croto, Vice-President, and Teresa Commisso. Secre- tary, aid Howard in making 210 one of the most ambitious rooms.

ROOM 216B Friendliness As âThe Era of Good Feelingâ came after the Nineteenth century, so it comes today to students of room 216B after the struggle of being freshmen. After conquering the obstacles of their first year at Commerce, these juniors are now pro- gressing into new fields. A fair percentage of the schoolâs most ardent athletes are represented in this room. Shirley Zicmba boosts school spirit as a substitute cheerleader. Sandra Wolff, Evelyn Bell, and Helen lladenchuch have contributed to the basketball team. Because Alberta Pond has taken life saving, she is evidently anticipating a summer of safe, enjoyable swimming. Other members of the room pursue various interests. Helping Patricia Bauer, president of the library assistants, are two aids, Muriel Begin and Joan Fitzgerald. Carol Cardaropoli serves on the Assembly Committee. Neila Morrison, Sandra Wolff, and Betty Provost of the Dramatic Club offer their abilities to stage frequent Friday morning entertainments. 49 ROOM 218 Sportsmanship Hen Hogan, one of America's top sportsman, is well known by everyone for his courage. Several years ago he was in a serious automobile accident and broke almost every bone in bis body. By some miracle, he recovered his health, continued to play golf, and surged back to win champion- ship matches. During his life, he has experienced defeat and victory. As a good sportsman, he has taken this in his stride. Sportsmanship like this can be found also in the junior homeroom 218. The gym demonstration was an example of one of the most popular sport activities of the year. Elaine Bilski. Joan Kish, Louise Golfiere, and Theresa Gove made a wonderful showing. John Keefe, Konald Lindman. Norman Levesque did themselves proud. Boiler skating proved to be interesting to Dolores Berard. Carolyn Billon, Theresa Dudley and Marjorie Gorham. Swimming drew many beginners, among them Marjorie Gor- ham and Nancy Grimes. Barbara Bennett took the Senior Life Saving Course.

After printing several derogatory remarks about the government in his paper. Zenger was imprisoned, but he kept on fighting, even from prison. When Zenger struggled for freedom he imparted his enthusiasm to many people. Hoorn 221 students, under the guidance of MlSS Made- line Maurer, take advantage of this right by expressing opinions throughout the school. Student activities range from lx Foyer and Pro Merito to after-school roller skating and bowling. These activities give students many chances to contribute to their school. Janet Jakuboski is active in sports and in the Drama Club, while Betty Hanson enjoys being a member of Le Foyer and Pro Merito. Mary Ann Hamii.akis also belongs to Ijc Foyer. Maryann Johnson, a sports-minded member, is a squad leader in her gym class. Ki.eanor Hubbard and Heather Keay are members of the Girlsâ Patrol.

Briggs, the students all work together to make this an outstanding room. The room boasts utliletes in Victor Zancan. Allen Wright, and Peter Smith. Besides playing on the soccer team and managing the baseball team. Dean Stroshine is also C. 0. Agent. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls arc also active in sports.

DRAMA CLUB ASSEMBLY Commerceâs Assembly Hall quivered with the roars of laughter on April 2, when the Drama Club presented an old-fashioned melodrama âSaved from the Kate of Her Sister.â In one of the most amusing plays presented at Commerce in many moons, the cast rollicked through lines that kept that audience in constant mirth. Boh Belli as the villain and Tom Weatherbee as the hero were effective foils for one another, while parallel roles were excellently portrayed by Lois Stone as the villainess and .Nancy Joubert as the heroine. Norman Levesque as the father and Marie Badway as the mother brought talent to their parts, while John Tvhurski, as the little hoy in search of his wandering father, sent the house into gales of laughter. Boy Johnson, as old-time pianist, successfully created atmosphere. Much of the success of the presentation was due to the fine staging, setting, and costuming under the direction of Mr. Harold V. Taylor, and play direction by Mr. Herbert Michaels. 82 Family tintype-: SEATED John Tybumki . . . STANDING Nancy Joubert. Tom Weatherbee.

Having only six regulars from last season, the team was perhaps a little slow in getting started, hut their tcamplay, spirit, and thinking were outstanding. The halfback line of Ross, Belli, and Charon was second to none in the city. Captains Belli and Zancan were excel- lent leaders, bringing the team to third place in the inter- school league. Due to the terrific goal-tending of John Dudzinski and Charlie Cassclcs, only once was Commerce defeated by more than one goal. At the half-season, Roger Dumas moved up into the starting line-up, as an inside. Bob Paran played practically every position. John McCarthy developed a terrific kick, while freshman Michael Mould showed the way to many players. Houghton, at right wing, improved tremendously from last season, scoring the only and winning goal against Monson, to give Commerce its first win in three years against that outfit. Victor Zancan and Hank Clay played a very aggressive game. Other members of the team were Bill Ferguson. Neil McEwan, Bob Gorman, Fran Nicoli, Bob Simpson, Dean (Pink Shoes) Stroshine, Al Wright, Paul Ginsberg, Gus Penna, and Ed Waldron. With the help of the man- agers, Cosmo Del Negro, Richard Goldrick, and Gil Tebaldi, the team was always fully equipped. 86 i merce SOCCER SCHEDULE Opponent 1 Monson 1 0 W.

The Haiders really earned their second victory of the season by outlasting Amherst in a thrilling overtime battle, 51-50. Commerce started slowly as a result of an ankle injury to John Dud .inski early in the first period but came on strong to take a half-time lead of 23-19. Bob Belli and Fred Oldenburg sparked the Crimson scoring. The lead ehanged hands several times in the last half and when the clock showed only five seconds left to play. Bill Fielding came through under pressure with two foul shots to tie the score at 47-47. This sent the Haiders into their only overtime game of the year. At the start of the overtime. Amherst jumped off to a two-point advantage. This lead held until Fielding again sank two free throws. Henry Clay got into the act with two foul shots which put Commerce out front to stay. The last game of the season found a determined Commerce squad winning their first interschool game in two years. Classical ended on the short end of a 42-36 score. In the 3rd period the Haiders overcame a halftime deficit of 6 points with a scoring surge led by Scotty Ross, John Dud .inski. and Bill Fielding. In the final period, the scoring of Bob Belli and the rebounding of Scotty Boss retained the lead for the Red Haiders. Seniors playing their last game for Commerce were Bill Fielding, Bob Belli. Hank Clay, Scotty Ross. John Dudzinski. Bill Megliola and Tony Curto. Bob Belli was chosen on the All-City second team as a center.

The team had only seven practices, and in none was a full team available. Despite these facts, the season ended favorably when Commerce beat Tech for the first lime in twelve years. This was a goal that the boys had aimed for all season. Veterans Boh Santaniello and Boh Churchill supplied the experience and the savvy. Boh Belli' consistent hit- ting and steady fielding helped the team throughout the season. Jerry Denesha and Art Caron, pitcher and short- stop, were inexperienced freshmen, improving as the season unfolded. Scotty Boss did a fine job at third base, while John Dudzinski came through with hits in the right spots. Hank Clay was an outstanding defensive unit in left field and Art Cendron did a good job in right field. Mario Maddaloni did most of the pitching with help from Denesha and Normoyle. Bob Santaniello and Bob Belli were picked on the All- City team, with Bob Churchill on the All-City second team. Boh Belli was also picked on the second team of W estern Massachusetts. LEFT TO RIGHT.

Mr. Mon- tagna. Mr. Alniinas. and Mr. Serafmo. joined juniors and seniors. Roger Dumas. Bob Puran. Boy Johnson, and Bob Livingstone for a bowling mateb. The match got under way with the faculty taking the lead. After good, but not excellent bowling, the boys were forced to concede the first string. The second string started, with the faculty again taking the lead. Towards the end of the string, the boys exerted extra strength, to roll up a slight lead, which they held. As the third string got underway, the members of both teams were a little tense. At the termination of a terrific battle of wits and straight shots, the faculty emerged the victors. Mr. Montagna and Boy Johnson both bowled excellent ball. The boys defeated the Hob Livingstone wnd a into the faculty 4-0 ill a return match. I dns. THE RECORD This year the boys' bowling team looked as it might be able to take the high ground in the league, when it came in second in the first round. Unfortunately, the bowlers were not as lucky in the second. They had a run of bad luck which landed them below the averages of the first round. Next year, however, they hope to be in the fight for the championship. sen edit. : Cathedral 3 Commerce 1 Cathedral 2 Commerce 2 Trade 4 Commerce 0 Trade 4 Commerce 0 Classical 2 Commerce 2 Classical 3 Commerce 1 Ludlow 1 Commerce 3 Ludlow 0 Commerce 4 Tech 3 Commeres- 1 Tech 2 Commerce 2 Anxiety is stamped on Rotter Dumas's face.

Victorious in matches over Freshmen and Juniors, the faculty men's volley hall team sneered at Old Father Time and his sickle for several weeks in March. Having conquered both lower classes in straight games, the teachers approached their match with the seniors with hope, if not with cockiness. Hut the pedagogues were forced to how to a team that fought just as hard as they, and in addition, had more height and the smashing spiking ability of Boh Belli behind it. Time after time. Big Boh went high into the air. and rammed the hall at his opponents who swung hopelessly. Final score: Seniors 15 âą 10, 15 âą 12. Scotty Boss also starred for the Seniors, while Tony Seraftno.

That's what Commerce girls, in company with Classical, Technical, and Trade High school girls did at the Colosseum in West Springfield every Monday between January and March. Bus transportation was provided to the rink, then many fancy tricks were performed â figure 8 s, waltz- ing. pirouetting, and so forth. For some, it was the beginning of speedy fun; for others, the continuation of previous enjoyment, hut all agreed that it was smooooth! The group was under the direction of Mrs. Barbara Richardson.

It was not easy at first: stiff legs, sore muscles, strained necks. But that did not stop the tennis stars. They played, and loved it. Thia ia the bowling team that won the glrla' 1953 tournament.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Sliool! Shoot! Take it easy, kids, no one's getting assassinated. These are only the echoes in the girlsâ gym on Tuesday afternoon as the basketball players crowd the floor. Dashing about enthusiastically, the players learn the correct rules of the game as well as good sportsman- ship from Mrs. Barbara Kichardson. These are important factors when the girls play their traditional rivals. Tech, Classical, and Trade. SWIMMING These ducklings are anything but ugly as they brave the briny deep to learn acquatic skills. Occasionally thereâs sputtering and choking as an unwary swimmer swallows a goodly portion of the pool, but itâs all in the fun. From October to December and from March to May, the girls met at the Trinity Pool or at the gymnas- ium for their instructions from Mrs. Barbara Bichardson.

All Commerce looks forward to their first performance. FRESHMAN TENNIS The twang of a hard-hit hall resounded many times at Forest Park last autumn, when Fresh- man girls under the direction of Miss Lois Piper, played many a fast set. Cay times, strong arms, (but not too muscular!) and ruddy checks were the rewards of this enthusiastic group. Poized lo zliee It down the xldcllnro are throe frrohmnn tenni players . . .

This hobby had a large turnout of girls; some of the most enthusiastic were Margaret Archambault, Nancy Case, and Barbara Horinc.
